Answer:
Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection to explain the process of evolution. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, all organisms have the potential to reproduce limitlessly irrespective of the fact that each species maintain a constant density over time. However, the struggle for existence, i.e. the competition among individuals for available resources to survive and reproduce, put a check on species density (D) and maintains it at a constant level (B). Survival of fittest is unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce based on suitability of their inherited characters to prevailing environmental conditions (A). It imparts the reproductive advantage to certain organisms which account for major part of the gene pool of the species. Thus, natural selection favors the individual with survival and/or reproductive advantage over others under existing environmental condition (E). Thus, the correct answer is option C.
This type of organism is called an autotroph.They are organisms capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy
Answer: A. Extirpation
Explanation:
The term extirpation is also known as local extinction. It is situation whereby a particular species ceased to exist in an environment where it was once found, though it's existence is still observed elsewhere.
Extirpation maybe as a result of unfavorable environmental and human factors such as hunting, food scarcity and climate variation.
